That's a fine image, great color, and the stork has its entire foot to the heel on the ground.

I owe you another beer

You see, I'm too trusty a soul and believe what I'm being told. But now you made me look it up in Sasol, and indeed it's a double-banded sandgrouse.

The blue tongue lizard did not cooperate, but Komodo was willing.

Microsoft ice is very easy and effective....it's like any pano with the animal having enough separation that its not on top of it's self.....ya get it done once....I enjoy trying to find the sequence of shots that may work because it does not always happen from lack of separation

Anhinga, water turkey, snake bird, etc. Look at the size of the big webbed right foot.

Did someone introduce Komodo Dragons to Australia?

I've been trying to find a Blue Tongue for years to get a decent photo of one, but when one was discovered in the car park at work, I didn't have the DSLR.
I remember seeing a Komodo dragon at Taronga Zoo in Sydney as a child. Thanks for posting!
